MP Burt pays tribute to Baroness Thatcher

Mr Burt said Lady Thatcher, who had suffered a stroke leaves ‘an indelible impression on the country and on British politics.”

He added: “Being fortunate to have seen her at work, I have memories of both public and private time, of her kindness and her toughness.

“It is a measure of her achievement that her name alone is a reference point for a British era, but we should not forget that with her part in the ending of the Cold War she also made the world a safer place.

“Genuinely there will be nobody like her ever again.”
